The shortest side of a triangle is 4.3m long. Two of the angles are 45.1 and 51.2 degrees respectively. Find the length of the longest side.

To begin we calculate the third unknown angle in the triangle by taking the two known angles (45.1 and 51.2) away from 180 degrees (remember the interior angles of a triangle sum to 180). We find this ...

Hence in this example, we want to make our u = x and v' = sinx

So we now n...
